The shortest update you'll ever want

Just a brief note to update you on my first hospital clinical yesterday (finally!) All was well, I got over my high anxiety and got on with the business of the day. With 10 minutes left before I needed to be back in the classroom for a post-clinical conference, my day unravelled.

All I will say is that it involved a bed bath (given by me) some fecal incontinence (not me), cleaning it all up (me) and an NG tube, known to some as the "nose hose", falling out and on the ground (not me), which had to be reinserted (thankfully, not by or in me.)
